The Franklin Township police officer earned just shy of $300,000 more than double his salary.
He made the most money in the roughly 100-person police force, surpassing the top police executive, Public Safety Director Quovella Spruill.
And when he retired Oct. 30, Holzheimer received an additional payout of $131,600 for unused paid time off, according to public records obtained by NJ Advance Media.
All told, the 30-year officer earned over $400,000 in 2020, though the amount from the retirement payout will be distributed throughout 2021. And most of it was footed by the hard-working residents of Somerset County’s most populous town.
